Format, validate, and beautify JSON online. Paste minified or messy JSON and get properly indented, color-highlighted output. Supports sorting keys, minifying, and error detection.
JSON Prettify (also known as JSON formatter or JSON beautifier) takes minified or unformatted JSON and re-formats it with proper indentation and line breaks, making it easy to read and debug.
JSON Prettify adds whitespace and indentation to make JSON human-readable. JSON Minify removes all unnecessary whitespace to reduce file size — useful for APIs and storage.
Yes. This tool uses JSON5 for parsing, so it accepts comments and trailing commas in addition to standard JSON.
For JSON files over 1 MB, online tools are not ideal. Recommended alternatives: command-line jq (cat data.json | jq '.') for maximum efficiency; VS Code built-in JSON formatting (Alt+Shift+F); Python built-in (python3 -m json.tool data.json) requires no installation; the fx interactive JSON viewer. For very large JSON files (100 MB+), use a streaming JSON parser to avoid running out of memory.
